Help
us Help Abandoned Cats On the Street

HK
Alley Cat Watch would love to help every abandoned cat we come across,
but we are a small group of volunteers with limited resources. We
ask people who find kittens & cats to do what you can as a first
resort such as placing ads in SCMP
Trading Post (print) Trading
Post(new!) & Asiaxpat. You can also
help by being a foster until a suitable home can be found.
To volunteer as a foster please contact michelle@hkalleycatwatch.com

At present donated
funds go toward street cats with injuries and newborn kittens needing
urgent medical care. Due to a lack of regular funding we only have enough
funds to treat cats in our neighourbood but hopefully this will change
in the future. Since our website was launched in early 2004 we have been
inundated with pleas for help, and although we strive to do everything
we can to help, it is impossible to continue on such a large scale.

We are only infact two people with a handful of foster homes and no other
facilities in which to house the cats and kittens awaiting adoption. Although
we will persevere in our efforts to help our feline friends, our main
emphasis is TNR, and we encourage more people to get involved as we believe
strongly that this initiative offers the best solution in decreasing the
number of kittens born and abandoned on our streets. If you are interested
in helping in TNR, please call the SPCA’s headquarters in Wanchai
on 2802 0501 and ask to be put through to the Cat Colony Care department.

We have recently been inundated with stray
cat calls. Due to the fact we are two people and a handful of foster volunteers,
we are physically unable to deal with many rescue situations - we are
simply not equipped. We urge people to contact the SPCA. We will continue
to welcome calls concerning orphaned new born kittens, though this depends
solely on there being ‘enough room at the Kitty Inn’. We are
more than happy to point people in the right direction. If you do find
a kitten or a cat, our main obstacle is not having anywhere to board them
as we DO NOT HAVE A CENTRE,
all fostering is done from people's homes. You would be helping by keeping
the stray at your house until it's healthy, or until we can at least find
an alternative foster or permanent home.

Please visit our Adoption
Gallery page for a detailed description of cats available for homing
and our Success Stories page. If you have
adopted a cat through HK Alley Cat Watch, a picture of you
& your moggy will be there.

To answer any health queries you may have
about your cat, please visit our Vets Questions
& Answers page. An updated Q&A is posted each month, if you
would like to have a question answered by a vet you can email us directly.

We ask potential families
to think long and hard before adopting, especially if you know you will
eventually leave Hong Kong as it's much harder to find a home for an older
cat than it is a kitten. We encourage any family leaving HK to consider
taking their companions with them, unless of course the best homes can
be found for them.
